The willingness of these candidates to volunteer their time to give back to the 250+ ARMO member companies is welcomed.  The ability to take off company and personal hats and work for the good of the entire ARMO membership and not for personal gain is one of the most honorable traits a select committee member holds.  We are pleased to have their interest, dedication and support in this unique organization.

Each ARMO company will be asked to vote for six of these exceptional dedicated individuals, we wish all candidates well with their election campaign.
